I don't hate rosewood,

but I do love maple,

Still, ebony is my favourite.

I think the open graines of rosewood slow you down and hinder bending, maple is much more closed, ebony is about the same but much harder, which will influence tone (for better or worse, very subjective) and neck stability (better with ebony).

The fact that Ibanez has stopped using ebony for the Jem underlines the rarity, same for the maple.
Good Points;)
